The 101 units worth Rs. 2,353 million was hailed by the Government as the largest stock of machinery imported by the Government in Sri Lanka's history. The equipment will be used by the Army Engineering Corps to build the Northern Province infrastructure rapidly to quicken the resettlement process of the IDPs and immediately engage them productively in the country's overall development.

She said she is upbeat of being able to supply this machinery at a time when her country was celebrating its 60th National Day. She said such efforts on her country's behalf to Sri Lanka's effort to rebuild will continue in the future.
